Seeking gentle support after recognising abuse and coercive control

Hello. I posted on here last July and the previous post can be seen following this link.
It was kindly suggested to me to consider doing another post to maybe get further support. I’m not sure where I’m at emotionally and truly what I want. It’s a process I guess and I think it will be a long tough one 😞
I can’t really say what I need but I’ve spoken to Women’s Aid who have said there’s sexual abuse, financial abuse and coercive control in my relationship of 24 years. Any support, gentle advice, or a virtual shoulder to lean on is much appreciated.

@Becksta1 I am not sure why the message got deleted by a poster upthread. Just so you know, they read nothing offensive or critical of you x

"there’s a strong chance" what a clown he is. Do please be prepared for him secretly removing items off the calendar. He would be able to do this without you receiving a notification.

He’s done the opposite before when he’s filled it with lots of random stuff, to the point where it’s so overwhelming I can’t see clearly so have missed appointments. Maybe that was why he did that.
